Me too
I'm surprised we went for Carse over Pottsy. I also thought it felt like a bad toss to lose.

So Latham. Look a million bucks, find one of 569 ways to get out. Such a poor place to try and hit that ball, which didn't appreciably move from its initial line

Yeah, Kiwis seemed so comfortable before that, but hey that was a top nut.

Carse, a fully-fledged all-rounder for Durham, at #10 is funny. There’s no real need for Woakes’ batting if we’re going to have 7 genuine batters in the team plus Atkinson and Carse, the selectors must think that New Zealand is basically the same as England but on the other side of the planet

He's meant to be arse but he's been bowling quite well lately. Hopefully he returns to type. The upper thigh joke was only funny once.

I thought Atkinson was the quick one, is he usually 10kph slower than Carse

Yeah he's got pace and bowls a heavy enough ball. Accuracy and guile were the question marks against him but he has started well in tests.

Carse is probably a bit faster on average but they're both usually in that range Bahnz just mentioned in red ball cricket - high 130s mostly.

true, i was under the impression england picked him as that "point of difference" in regards to pace
wood and archer still in their own league for that category i guess

Stone is definitely faster too, TBH, His injuries have taken pace off him, but he's improved as a bat, so swings and roundabouts.

not sure anyone knows how quick archer really is anymore.
a fit mark wood is the quickest bowler in the world by a distance.

He's always been consistent 85mph+, just wayward when he's bowling it.
Most who watch him regularly at Durham would agree we didn't think he'd be international standard. Not quite to same extent as @Prince EWS Carse is arse view mind.
But it's clear that Stokes has long thought he was what he wanted at this level. A previous setup wouldn't have championed him at all, with his betting ban last year even more so.

England's over rate would make 1980s WI blush
